Future Plans And Favourite Memories: THE DELTA RIGGS Share A Moment

The Delta Riggs will be hitting home soil again this weekend, ready
to headline the main day celebrations for Mo's Desert Clubhouse’s
6th birthday celebrations on the Gold Coast. In the lead up to the
show, founding member and bass player Michael ‘Monte’ Tremonte took
some time out to chat with HEAVY. Arguably Australia’s most
underrated band, The Delta Riggs, have been together since 2010,
and are about to release a new track before the end of the year,
with the hope it will set the pace for what’s to come their way in
2026. 
The Riggs frontman Elliot Hammond has had a full roster with his
focus recently being with his other band Dope Lemon, which he is a
member of alongside his other bestie Angus Stone. Now that is
completed, his focus is back with The Delta Riggs, with Monte
stating they are excited for what may evolve out of their new
releases and plans for the band, as he jokes with Ali calling 2026
The Year of Rigg. 
Following on from last year's highlights that saw Smashing
Pumpkins’ frontman and founder, Billy Corgan, joining The Delta
Riggs for the full tour of Good Things Festival.  Prior to
Corgan’s accompaniment, The Riggs had made a lasting impression
when they played a show in Los Angeles that got the attention of a
member of the Foo Fighters crew. So much so that this led to Foo
Fighters requesting to have The Delta Riggs support them on their
2015 Sonic Highway stadium tour of Australia. A pivotal moment for
the band and a lifelong friendship was formed with Foo's guitarist
Chris Shiflett. 
Looking forward to getting loose and playing together again, Monte
is pumped to be heading back to the GC and to Mo’s, which is set to
be a big weekend of celebrations all around.  If you’re in the
neighbourhood, head on out to the Clubhouse. Kicking it off on
Thursday night are the epic legends Testeagles, with The Delta
Riggs on Saturday and wrapping it up before they send it will be
King Parrot on Sunday. Event details and tickets are available at
